4. Combine Everything
Add the cooked pasta into the sauce and toss well to coat.
Gently fold in the shrimp so they stay intact.
5. Assemble the Bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased baking dish.
Top with:
- Mozzarella cheese
- Extra Parmesan
- Optional breadcrumbs for a crispy topping
6. Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until:
- The cheese is melted and bubbly
- The top is golden and slightly crispy
👉 For extra browning, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon for brightness.
This pasta bake pairs beautifully with:
- A fresh green salad
- Garlic bread
- Steamed vegetables
💡 Tips for Success
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor, but frozen works if thawed properly
- Don’t skip the lemon—it balances the richness of the butter and cheese
- Adjust spice level with more or less red pepper flakes
